Abstract

Best used in combination with treatment with a mental health professional, this online workbook will help patients work through PTSD regardless of the type of trauma experienced. This program will reduce anxiety and distress as patients learn to face memories of trauma, while processing emotions about the event using a scientifically tested and proven technique called Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE). It provides a guide for patients to learn how to confront these situations and begin to re-evaluate feelings and beliefs in order to think differently about the experience. It covers how to participate in exposure exercises as well as any real-life situations that bring about feelings of fear in a step-by-step controllable way. Breathing retraining exercises, information on PTSD, case examples, self-assessment tools, and homework assignments are also included.
